Don't know about Common Language Runtime

[Bottlenecked]

Hello Guys,

I just completed Java programming course, started 'C sharp'. At the stating of C sharp syllabus their is one concept known as CLR i.e Common Language Runtime. I am not able to get the meaning of this Common Language Runtime. And I heard that CLR is the base of the C sharp programming language. So, Please let me aware about the Common Language Runtime. I would greatly appreciate your any help.

The CLR(Common Language Runtime) is nothing but the engine which is used to compiles the source code of program in to an intermediate language. This intermediate language is referred as Microsoft Intermediate Language i.e MSIL. During the execution of the C sharp program code this MSIL is converted into machine code or also known as native code. This conversion is possible through the Just-In-Time compiler. During compilation the end result is a Portable Executable file.

The .NET Framework offers one run-time environment and which is referred as common language runtime (CLR). The CLR used to run the code and to offer services to make easier development process. In the way to enable the runtime to provide services to managed code, compilers of language must emit metadata that describes the types, members, and references in your code.Compilers and tools expose the runtime's functionality and enable you to write code that benefits from this managed execution environment.

The CLR is a core component of Microsoft's .NET initiative. It is Microsoft's CLI standard implementation, which defines an execution environment for program code. In the Common Language Runtime code is expressed in a form of byte code called the CIL and which is stands for Common Intermediate Language. Although some other implementations of the Common Language Infrastructure run on non-Windows operating systems, Microsoft's implementation runs only on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Hi friend,

The 'Common Language Runtime' enables .Net programmers for to ignore many details of specific CPU and which will executes the program. CLR provides following services:

• Thread management
• Security
• Memory management
• Exception handling
• Garbage collection

Hi,

The CLR is essential to improve performance. It also easy way to design applications or components. The CLR has ability to make use of development of other languages component. Objects of program which is in other languages are able to communicate with each other, and their behaviors can be tightly integrated. For example, you can define a class and then use a different language to derive a class from your original class or call a method on the original class.

The CLR is described as the "execution engine" of .NET. It provides the environment within which the programs run. It's this CLR that manages the execution of programs and provides core services, such as code compilation, memory allocation, thread management, and garbage collection. Through the Common Type System
(CTS), it enforces strict type safety, and it ensures that the code is executed in a safe environment by enforcing code access security
. The software version of .NET is actually the CLR version.
